2.4GHz and Vhf/Uhf Dual Band Antenna Mounting distance
What would be the appropriate distance to mount a 2.4 Wifi antenna away from a Vhf/Uhf dual band antenna, where I won’t fry either the radio or wifi card? I was hoping that less than one foot would be good enough, since the bands are far enough apart.

mounting distance...
18 or 20 inches would be safest. Theory calls for a quarter
wave on the lowest band which would be 18 inches at 155
mHz. The "rule" comes from VHF/UHF installs, but I'd still be
cautious.
